– Tutorial prep seems to keep me awake even if it is being done in ghostly silence. Plus, it has taken me two months to realise that it is significantly easier to get a seat on the top floor of the Rad Cam if you come when it’s hall dinnertime for students in colleges.

Just finished watching Saltburn and I see what they are going for but feel they missed the mark. So I went back to the real source of academia inspiration for all of us since the the dawn of time: Hugh Dancy in 1990s Oxford.

I want to study in Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, at least in the Sorbonne or some kind of college where classes are great, the infrastructure is beautiful and practical, with outdoor spaces with lots of grass to sit (for picnics with other students, or to read by yourself) and just relax. I want to be taught by Professors Researchers, and I wanna be able to take every book that i need to read from the university's library. I want cafeterias with a few normal options for lunch at a cheap price, and coffee from the uni café or from those shitty coffee vending machines.

Everyone wants to go to Oxford University and live in medieval buildings until it’s winter and your windows are single-glazed, or your wardrobe door is broken but it’s a listed building so takes a week to get the right hinges.

Visited my future college and faculty buildings in Oxford where I’ll be residing from October onwards! Likewise, let’s just say I’m looking forward to my Masters and getting back into the spirit of taking photos of the extended academic journey.

“Bottled, was he?" Said Colonel Bantry, with an Englishman's sympathy for alcoholic excess. "Oh, well, can't judge a fellow by what he does when he's drunk? When I was at Cambridge, I remember I put a certain utensil - well - well, nevermind.”
- Agatha Christie, The Body in the Library   
Contrary to popular perception of drinks with Dons in their SCR after a High Table dinner, weighty intellectual conversations go down as well as lead balloons. The free flowing of the sherry or the port tends to lubricate the palate and loosen tongues towards more convival conversations such as departmental intrigue, academic conference junkets on the continent, bemoaning the lack of government research investment, the England Test cricket score, college politics, and Donnish infidelities.
**The Senior Common Room (SCR) after Formal Hall in Magdalene college, Cambridge

"Many of the best universities in the world are in the US and UK"
versus
"Have you seen the state of these f*cking countries"
Really? Have you?!
Most of the US and UK's political elite were "educated" in these god forsaken places. What does that tell you?
And no I'm not against academia, I'm against shallow elitism and the abuse of academia.
